As a researcher and writer of skin care and health topics and former acne sufferer, experience has taught me that one of the biggest misconceptions among people with pimples and searching for pimples treatment is the belief that their pimples are some kind of skin condition that can and should be remedied by treating the skin. Though slightly absurd, the belief and how rampant it is aren't all that surprising.
Many parts of the skin care industry - be it the dermatologist who promises to make your pimples disappear with regular peels or the pharmaceuticals which guarantee to cure them by some topical application- thrive upon that very belief; and marketers of those industries have done and continue to do a great job of solidifying these ideas in the marketplace.
That's all fine for the bottom line, yes, but it's not helping the sufferers much; and, although we've bought into the misconception, we've all learned from experience that this approach alone isn't enough to solve the problem and will only keep us on the treadmill indefinitely.
